CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 21: THE CARAVAN, PURPLE BUTTERFLY DOMAIN - PART 2

"That means this is a fake?"

"Wait a minute, let me ask around. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back to the Sect, and I remember that some Sect Disciples have come over recently. Let me check first."

「...」

Wudao Tian and Mo Yang clinked their cups together, each downing a large bowl of strong liquor in one gulp.

Wudao Tian lamented, "Oh, my Junior Chen, your departure was so abrupt."

Mo Yang, whose cultivation was slightly inferior, was already a bit drunk. His face filled with sorrow as he said, "You’re gone, just like that. My poor sister... she had just recovered, and now she’s gone too. SOB SOB SOB."

Great Elder Changsun Yunming of Hundred Herbs Peak arrived to find a man and a beast wailing with their heads in their hands. As he approached, a strong smell of alcohol greeted him, making him cover his nose.

"What a disgrace!" he scolded angrily, then cast two spells, expelling the alcohol from their bodies.

Looking at Wudao Tian as he regained his senses, Changsun Yunming asked, "Dao Tian, I want to ask you something. Do you recognize Chen Jiuge, or do you know of him?"

Wudao Tian responded in a daze, "Are you talking about Chen Jiuge from Hundred Herbs Peak?"

"Wen Tianming’s personal Disciple, right?" Changsun Yunming confirmed.

"Eh, Elder Changsun, how do you know that? Aren’t you just here enjoying your retirement?" Wudao Tian asked in surprise.

"Come with me."

Elder Changsun Yunming hurriedly released a Flying Boat, pulling Wudao Tian onto it, and they quickly flew toward the Purple Butterfly Domain.

「...」

Meanwhile, Wang Bei had also received an accurate answer from Elder Changsun Yunming: Chen Jiuge was indeed a Disciple of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

"Nephew Chen? No, that’s not right... Divine Son? Also not right... Forget it, I’ll just call you Jiuge," Wang Bei said. "I’ve verified your identity for you. An Elder from your Hundred Herbs Peak said he’s bringing a Disciple you know over. If it’s convenient for you, wait a couple of days and you’ll see him."

"Thank you so much," Chen Jiuge said gratefully. "By the way, I still don’t know how to address you, Manager. Which Sect are you from?" I’m finally about to return to the organization!

"Wang Bei, from the Triple Sect."

Upon hearing this, images of the Sect that had to flee to the Infinite Star Sea because their base was stolen by the Demon Clan while they were distracted by soccer surfaced in Chen Jiuge’s mind.

Since he was seeking help, Chen Jiuge naturally would not rub salt in their wounds.

After deciding to stay in the area for a few days, he faced opposition from Luo Wencheng. After all, they had been traveling for a month already and still hadn’t reached their destination. Stopping for a few more days would mean an even longer delay.

To persuade Luo Wencheng, Chen Jiuge came up with an excuse: Wang Bei supposedly knew the location of the Purple Butterfly Domain and could help draw a map, which would just take a few days.

It was originally just an excuse to buy time, but it turned out that Wang Bei did indeed know. He even had a strange expression when Chen Jiuge inquired about the location of the Purple Butterfly Domain.

Looking at the location marked on the map provided by Wang Bei, could they currently be right above the Purple Butterfly Domain? Chen Jiuge wondered.

"Manager Wang, is this the Purple Butterfly Domain?" Chen Jiuge asked incredulously.

"Although I don’t understand why you’re going to the Purple Butterfly Domain, this is indeed it," Wang Bei replied. "Just open your Dharma Eye and take a look. You should be able to spot the characteristic purple butterflies right away."

Chen Jiuge did as suggested and looked down.

On the flower-filled land below, countless purple butterflies leisurely fluttered through the sea of blooms. He could also see groups of delicate-looking creatures bending down, seemingly gathering something among the flowers.

"So, Jiuge, if your destination is the Purple Butterfly Domain, then I’ll have to move on," Wang Bei explained. "I’ve already informed Elder Changsun Yunming of this location. They’ll be back in a few days. Since you’re here, they won’t have trouble finding you."

"Oh, then it’s fine. You go ahead with your business, Manager Wang," Chen Jiuge said, somewhat dazed, as he walked back.

Looking at Luo Wencheng’s unhappy face, Chen Jiuge said with a wry smile, "Brother Cheng, do you know where we are?"

Luo Wencheng pouted. "How would I know? You’re the Divine Son; whatever you say goes. If you say we stop for a few days, then we stop for a few days."

Chen Jiuge’s mouth twitched. You’re an Immortal Daluo Golden Immortal, not a child. Why does that sound so strange?

"This is the Purple Butterfly Domain," Chen Jiuge stated.

Luo Wencheng’s expression stiffened. He turned his head awkwardly and asked, "Divine Son, you’re not joking? This is the Purple Butterfly Domain?"

Chen Jiuge spread his hands. "As much as I’d like to argue, this really is the Purple Butterfly Domain. Brother Cheng, you can head down and check for yourself."

SWISH.

Luo Wencheng disappeared.

SWISH.

Luo Wencheng reappeared.

Seeing the awkward smile on Luo Wencheng’s face, Chen Jiuge reassured him, "This isn’t your fault, Brother Cheng. The map was just too poorly drawn."

"Brother Cheng, could you please inform the vassal races below to prepare a landing spot for our Flying Boat and also arrange accommodations for our people?" Chen Jiuge requested. Whenever I say ’our people,’ it feels so insincere, he thought.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Luo Wencheng replied, his expression confident. Socializing is what I do best. The Divine Son’s judgment of people is truly accurate!

「...」

In the Star Sea Realm, aside from powerful races like the Asuras, there are many more ordinary and weak races. These weak races often rely on the protection of stronger races to survive. Otherwise, given Cultivators’ greed for resources, they would have no chance of survival. Especially in the Star Sea Realm, which is a hundred times more ruthless than the Heavenly Realm, there is no meaning to survival without strength.

The race living in the Purple Butterfly Domain is the Purple Butterfly Clan.

Purple Butterfly Clan: They resemble humans in appearance, but adult males are only about 1.5 meters tall, while females are just 1.3 meters. They are similar to goblins from a fantasy world, though their features are more delicate.
